Philosophy

We are Alexandra and Tanne, two friends who share the same love for beautiful design and MY HABITAT is our online shop based in Amsterdam.

MY HABITAT started with a trip to Morocco in search of rugs for our newly founded online shop. To our surprise all of the vintage rugs we loved were were either too small or had the wrong proportions to use as a rug. At this point we decided we would use these beautiful pieces to create something new.

We search high and low for the perfect rugs, one in a hundred is chosen for what we want to create. Each one carefully selected and made into unique cushions and floor cushions. We work locally with craftspeople from Morocco preserving traditional craftsmanship whilst creating contemporary designed pieces.
